Kids Photography Workshop | Erin Rachel Photography

Last Friday afternoon I taught the first Kids Photography Workshop at the HomeSchool Cottage in Slidell, LA.
Talk about two hours of fun! That's what it was:-)
We went over their cameras and what the buttons are and what they can be used for.
We had lots of hands on projects...they learned to fill the frame...simple techniques for portraits...texture...color...and fun!

Basic Photography Workshop #4 | Erin Rachel Photography

Yesterday was simply amazing.
I was privileged to be able to teach the Basic Photography Workshop for the 4th time.
As I was sitting their teaching and they were asking me questions...
All I could think of was how much I LOVE this.
To sit there and be around people and see them learn...it's beyond rewarding.
I honestly l.o.v.e. it!
This was the smallest workshop I've had with only 4 attending. I had several back out
at the last minute, at first I debated on whether postponing it or going with it.
I'm soooooooooooooo thankful I went on with it.
I have to say each class gets better and better...
and yesterday confirmed that fact:-)
They were such a great group, great questions, eager to learn, willing to be critiqued and to top it off...FUN!
